why write your own nslookup?  its on your AS/400 already.
"                Domain Name Server (DMNNAMSVR) - Help

Specify the name or the IP address of the DNS server that NSLookup
will use as its default server for the query session.

    Note:  NSLookup retrieves information from DNS servers.  It
    needs an active DNS server to send its queries to.  If you do
    not specify a DNS server with DMNAMSVR when you start the tool,
    it will attempt to set one of the following as its default DNS
    server for the session: 1. The DNS server your system is
    configured to use, or 2. The DNS server that is running on your
    local system.

    If neither of these conditions exist, NSLookup will not be able
    to retrieve any information until you specify a DNS server to
    query.  DMNNAMSVR allows you to start the query session and set
    the DNS server of your choice as the default server for the
    session.

    Use the DMNNAMSVR parameter of the STRDNSQRY command to specify..."

More to your point though...  Is your Help Desk using Ops Navigator?  Lots
of nice stuff there, including printer support.

I would like to write a reverseloop up tool, for our help desk... Sometimes
a user will call with a printer issue, but won't know the outq name, but
they do know the IP address of the printer, so I would like to write a
program that will accept an IP, bounce it against the host ip table, and
then bounce the returned names against the outq names...

so I have actually 2 questions, is their a table for the ip values, and is
their a table for the outq that are available... or at the very least a way
to print these values to an outfile...

Thanks, tim
